Censorship

If you censor, I am warning you, you better be on an IP address that is not easily tracable to some large corporation / government sector, because I will post that here! And it is very difficult to get discussion material deleted. Holon67 00:43, 14 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Misleading?

Having just watched a quite tough (for Colleen Graffy) Hard Talk program on BBC News 24, I find this stub article misleading at best.

There is effectively only one line constructed from an extract [2] taken from her biography on the U.S. Department of State's website and it is nowhere near expansive enough to give a full and accurate picture of her background and credentials.

Since the "Copyright Information" link on the U.S. State Department's site positively encourages wider use of its material and the bio itself is quite concise, I'm curious to know why the author of this stub article chose not to cross copy and refer to it (her State Department bio) verbatim in order to give the reader a much richer picture about the subject?

Oh and the program/interview was extremely good by the way... Stephen Sackur lived up to the program's name!
